Heads-up ... or maybe it's heads-down ... !

[Steve Ward]

Something pretty enormous sprouted up overnight and is pointing straight this way ... 

Rain here all day but hope some of you can get a view of the action.

WOW! what an amazing development in such a short period of time! Fingers crossed for some breaks through the cloud.

I snubbed that spot Saturday  I feel guilty/disappointed I did looking how it's developed overnight.

Just caught that this morning before going to work. Amazing overnight development. In H-alpha it seemed to be on fire. Will post images as soon as they have stacked

Wow, I can't believe that is AR2673, it was a simple small round spot when I was observing on Saturday and like @Pete Presland I have to confess to not paying it too much attention.

Annoyingly this has come to light at the start of the week when I'm back at work and won't get a chance to have a look, even if the rain clouds part .

I'll have to make do with watching it on Helioviewer.

I was looking at that area around AR2673 at 6pm yesterday, and there was a large fan shaped region of plage with little dark spots appearing remarkably brightly in Ha.

Cloudy today though!
